Chapter 499: Senior Brother Sa Xus Kindness
Fiend Supremacy frowned and said softly, "After this battle, that Qin Yun will definitely be a lot more careful. We shall have to wait."
Kuishi nodded slightly.
Even if another plan was plotted, she would unlikely be the person executing it.
Clearly, Palatial Lord Kuishi’s strength was insufficient to kill Qin Yun!
"He rose up too quickly. He has only cultivated for such a short period of time, and he is already able to stay alive against Kuishi. I can’t let him continue to grow. How should I rid myself of him?" Fiend Supremacy began contemplating a solution.
...
While the Tenebrous Fiend world was thinking up a solution, Qin Yun, Yi Xiao, and Ancestral Master Zhang were hosting a banquet for Senior Brother Wang Qian in the Great Chang world.
When the banquet was almost over, Wang Qian said, "Junior Brother Qin, although Fiend Supremacy Tenebrous Cloud will not act wantonly, you were able to resist Palatial Lord Kuishi after such a short period of cultivation. Perhaps... this will only make the fiends more eager to kill you."
Qin Yun nodded slightly. He was well aware of this too.
"My suggestion is for you to temporarily live in the Effulgent Great World," said Wang Qian with a smile. "The Effulgent Great World has a deep heritage and many experts lurk in it. There is a mighty figure residing in it too. If they truly dare to send Ancestral Fiends to attack, our Green Touring Palace’s Golden Immortals can descend as well."
From the side, Ancestral Master Zhang clapped and said with a smile, "Yes. Head to the Effulgent Great World. The possibility of Ancestral Fiends and Golden Immortals fighting there is very low. After all, they do not wish to offend that senior."
Wang Qian nodded. "With that senior present, no one in the Effulgent Great World dares act without regard."
"Alright. Xiaoxiao and I were already planning on heading to the Effulgent Great World for a trip," said Qin Yun with a smile. He also knew that a terrifying existence resided in the Effulgent Great World.
By residing in the Effulgent Great World, the senior also became the leader of the Effulgent dominion.
In fact...
It was very difficult to dominate a dominion in the vast Three Realms.
Taking the dragons as an example, it took the Chaos Godfiend, Ancestral Dragon, and several dragons at the Ancestral Fiend realm to occupy a dominion!
For the magi, the Magus Gate’s Ten Magi all had baffling and unpredictable abilities. They were very famous, but even they were only able to occupy a dominion by joining forces.
A typical mighty figure?
About five Golden Immortal mighty figures would not have the qualifications to occupy a dominion. How powerful were the Daoists, Buddhists, Heavenly Courts, and fiendish way? Without sufficient strength, how could one shock and awe the rest enough to put them in their place and completely dominate a dominion?
"There is no need to chose another day. Why don’t we do it now?" Wang Qian said with a smile. "I can bring the both of you there directly."
Qin Yun looked at his wife Yi Xiao, who nodded as well.
"Then I’ll be troubling you, Senior Brother Wang," said Qin Yun with a smile. Simultaneously, he split off an avatar which immediately transformed into a stream of light that headed for Grand Dominance.
"Junior Brother Qin, it’s safer in the Effulgent Great World, but you still have to be careful," said Ancestral Master Zhang.
Qin Yun nodded.
"Let’s go." Wang Qian smiled as he waved his hand. He engaged in Major Void Transference together with Qin Yun and Yi Xiao. They departed the Great Chang world and headed for the Effulgent Great World.
******
After arriving in the Effulgent Great World, Qin Yun and Yi Xiao quickly bade Wang Qian farewell.
Half a month later.
In an elegant room in a city’s restaurant.
Qin Yun and Yi Xiao were enjoying several delicacies. Since the Effulgent Great World was so big, the local delights were more than sufficient to appeal to the couple’s tastes for years.
"Whoosh."
A blurry light descended into the room as another Qin Yun appeared. It merged with the seated Qin Yun immediately.
The person accompanying his wife was only an avatar.
"How was it?" asked Yi Xiao when she saw this.
"I made a trip to Green Touring Palace and sought out several senior brothers and sisters, but Connate Wonders are extremely difficult to obtain." Qin Yun shook his head. "It’s only possible to get one if I use another Connate Wonder to exchange, but the moment my possession of the Chaos Pure Gold is exposed... I’ll probably encounter greater troubles."
The huge piece of Chaos Pure Gold he obtained from Star Cluster Hall was about half the height of a person. He only used thirty percent to raise his Intrinsic Flying Sword to the supreme-grade Numinous treasure level.
Firstly, Qin Yun did not dare reveal that he had it. Even if he only used a tiny portion of it, others would suspect that he had even more. Mighty figures could use this to infer the truth. Treasures were tempting! Once this was made known, it would really result in endless trouble.
Secondly, his Intrinsic Flying Sword had already extracted all the Chaos Pure Gold it could, and was unable to withstand any more. However, if he were to become a Golden Immortal one day, the Chaos Pure Gold could still provide a lot of help.
Therefore...
Qin Yun could only use his supreme-grade Numinous treasures, the Yin Water Chains and Five Fires Calabash to exchange for the Connate Wonder. He did not need a lot, just a tiny amount would be sufficient!
But it was very difficult! The difference in value between supreme-grade Numinous treasures and Connate Wonders was just too great. Connate Wonders were also very rare.
"Continue waiting then. Besides, you might one day create a Skyimmortal Dharmic formulation," said Yi Xiao. "When that happens, your strength will reach a brand new level."
"Create a Skyimmortal Dharmic formulation?" said Qin Yun wistfully. "At present, I only barely have a clue. I’m still far from successfully creating it."
"Brother Yun, you are the sword immortal who created his own Dharmic formulation. If you can reach the ninth firmament Skyimmortal, the purity of your Dharmic powers will make you in no way inferior to Golden Immortals," comforted Yi Xiao. "I’ve read through the intelligence on the experts in the Three Realms you gave me. Many of the experts in the Three Realms are ninth firmament Skyimmortals who created their own Dharmic formulations. They are all able to match Golden Immortals. Brother Yun, you have created an even harder sword immortal Dharmic formulation, and with your Intrinsic Flying Sword, I believe you will only get stronger. When the time comes, that Fiend Supremacy Tenebrous Cloud will be no match for you at all."
"I’ll take it one step at a time. It’s still very early." Qin Yun lowered his head and continued eating.
The couple chatted as they ate, and were more than halfway done with their meal when suddenly––
Buzz.
A fluctuation descended.
"Oh?" Qin Yun had extremely sharp senses. He turned to look.
A white-dressed man walked out of the void as he scrutinized Qin Yun.
The moment he saw this, Qin Yun stood up together with his wife. He bowed and said humbly, "Greetings, Senior Brother Sa."
The person was none other than Green Touring Palace disciple Sa Xu.
He created the Heavenly Constellation Lightning Dharma, and with the Lightning Dharma, was able to match mighty figures! His potential was even higher than Yellow-robed Supremacy’s. Yellow-robed Supremacy and company were a batch of ancient experts in the Three Realms that had been stuck at a bottleneck since ancient times. After cultivating for so long, it was extremely unlikely they could become Golden Immortals. On the one hand, Sa Xu had cultivated for a relatively shorter amount of time. On the other hand, he did not study from predecessors, but created his own Dharmic formulation. The Dharmic formulation he created himself was also extremely powerful and he himself was very perceptive.
"I heard you require a water-elemental Connate Wonder?" Sa Xu asked Qin Yun.
"Yes," said Qin Yun eagerly.
"I have the Connate Wonder, Water of the First Essence." Sa Xu looked at Qin Yun. "What do you have to exchange in return?"
Qin Yun was excited hearing this.
Water of the First Essence?
What his Intrinsic Flying Sword needed the most was naturally metal-elemental Connate Wonders! The next most important were those of the water-elemental sort.
"I only have two supreme-grade Numinous treasures, the Yin Water Chains and Five Fires Calabash, as well as a Three Calamities Crimson Numinous Fruit Tree," said Qin Yun. These were the most precious treasures he had apart from his Intrinsic Flying Sword and Chaos Pure Gold. The Yin Water Chains and Three Calamities Crimson Numinous Fruit Tree had been obtained from killing Prestige Goat. The Five Fires Calabash was naturally won from his battle bet with Bear Mountain.
"Just that?" Sa Xu looked at Qin Yun.
"That’s all I have." Qin Yun felt somewhat helpless as he said this.
The Chaos Pure Gold was just not something he could reveal. Once it was exposed, experts good at inference could figure many things out.
As for the other treasures, he had obtained them from combat, but as he had cultivated for too short a time, he had only accumulated few.
"Just this bit of treasures... Whatever. I’ll give you three drops of Water of the First Essence," said Sa Xu. "Are you willing to do the exchange?"
"Yes, I’m willing," said Qin Yun gratefully. "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Sa Xu was an existence that matched a mighty figure.
Two supreme-grade Numinous treasures and a Three Calamities Crimson Numinous Fruit Tree were of little use to him. The reason why he initiated the exchange was more to help his junior brother.
Qin Yun took out the two supreme-grade Numinous treasures and a box. Inside the box was the Three Calamities Crimson Numinous Fruit Tree.
"Whoosh." Sa Xu waved his hand and put them away. Following that, he took out a red calabash. Three drops of liquid that emitted strange colors immediately flew out. Each drop of water was the size of a fist.
"One can touch the Water of the First Essence without any worry. Ordinary Cosmic Bags and Dharma treasure bottles can store it," said Sa Xu.
Qin Yun also sensed it.
It was not like Chaos Pure Gold which had a boundless, sharp aura. The Water of the First Essence was very mild, so mild that even mortals could touch it.
Qin Yun reached out to grab a drop of Water of the First Essence.
"It’s heavy." Qin Yun was astonished.
"One drop of Water of the First Essence is nearly five hundred kilograms," said Sa Xu. "Quickly store it away."
"Yes." Qin Yun nodded and took out a green jade bottle and stored the three drops inside of it.
"Cultivate well and teach those fiends a lesson in the future," said Sa Xu. He had two reasons for being so willing to help Qin Yun. Firstly, he thought highly of him earlier on. Secondly, he knew of Kuishi’s assassination attempt on Qin Yun. Sa Xu was one who abhorred evil, and he had killed numerous fiends as well.
"Yes, Senior Brother Sa. If I were to obtain more treasures, could I continue exchanging for more Water of the First Essence?" Qin Yun thickened his skin and asked.
Sa Xu looked at Qin Yun with a faint smile. "Punk, you can at most get ten drops from me, including the three from just now! You can find me at Green Touring Palace when the need arises."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Sa." Qin Yun bowed deeply.
He would keep in mind this huge gratitude.
He had heard stories of a mighty figure using sixty drops of Water of the First Essence to exchange for a Connate Numinous treasure in the Three Realms. It was relatively easier to exchange Connate Wonders for Connate Numinous treasures.
As for supreme-grade Numinous treasures, it was acknowledged by all in the Three Realms that only a hundred supreme-grade Numinous treasures could be exchanged for one Connate Numinous treasure. Furthermore, one had to find a mighty figure that was willing to do the exchange.
"Whoosh." The blurry light descended as Sa Xu departed the Effulgent dominion.
"Brother Yun, are the three drops of Water of the First Essence enough?" asked Yi Xiao.
"It’s not considered a small amount." Qin Yun was filled with glee. "My flying sword mainly requires metal-elemental materials and water-elemental materials as a supplement. It does not need too much of the Water of the First Essence."
...
On the same day.
After he settled in his wife, Qin Yun’s true body headed for his tiny compound in Green Touring Palace where he began nurturing his Intrinsic Flying Sword.
